OpenBridge Modeler

Dispatch Cells - Database tab

Further Options and Data Base: As it is the case with many other OpenBridge Modeler functions, here too it is possible to make some standard default settings directly under ‘Assignment’ for the component parts to be inserted.

SettingDescription
Database Sets the database to be used for cells.
Units Sets the length units from the drawing; selectable options are Metric or Imperial.
In Part list When checked, the component parts are seized for the parts list.

Data Base Definition

You can define a database with pre-defined thread bolts resp. paths to the cells before you can optimally utilize the distribution command. Any thread bolts or cells indicated there are then displayed in the selection list. This DBASE-file (e.g., bolts.dbf) has to be indicated in the configurations.
